Fear of wearing my hair up!? Please help my future depends on this?

So I’m a pretty shy girl and I literally always wear my hair down even to sports (yes I know that’s weird). I’m 15 1/2 years old and I had to quit my volleyball team last year because of it. But I really want to do the high school volleyball team this year but I don’t know if I can do it. People ask me all the time... show more So I’m a pretty shy girl and I literally always wear my hair down even to sports (yes I know that’s weird).

So I feel like if I do it people will stare at me funny and say something and I’m not worried about them making fun of me but I just don’t want all the reactions and attention around it since I’m shy. Please help I really want to be able to play volleyball this year!!

Best Answer: If you really want to join, just do it. Of course people will notice, but just don’t care. I’m also a volleyball player, and it’s kind of hard to play with my hair down. Try wearing your hair up more often. Maybe a braid too. I’ve gotten away with braids at volleyball games. Also try and see if you can get away with a low ponytail. Maybe your coach won’t care or notice if it’s low and you’ll probably feel a bit more comfortable. But if you’re trying out, DO NOT wear it low if you are unsure if they’ll dislike it because it will hurt your chances of making the team.

I can see why u feel that way. I was shy once myself, still am somewhat. It does feel weird to put it up since u never done it b4, it's like taking glasses off a person who always wears glasses or vise versa.

Yes, it is possible for people to give reactions that aren't pleasant or very comforting. But u know what i do when people start pointing out my flaws, like the hair on my arms (seems to be very thick, and im a girl)? i own it. Because it's when u own ur flaws that people stop. "Yes i have hair on my arms, thank you for noticing!!!" "Yes my hair is up for the first time, thank yoy for noticing. would u like to stare into my eyes too? Because u seem to be very good at it"

Something new is bound to be stared at until something else comes along for people to stare at. But it's when u own it, that they stop.
Good luck.

PS: u dont have to put ur hair LITERALLY up. U can also do a LOW ponytail, it's less "dramatic". I learned that trick once. And it doesn't look bad either.

Do whatever makes you happy. Life is too short to worry about what other people think - if they’re negative for any reason it’s their problem. Sure people may notice but tomorrow it’ll be yesterday’s news and they’ll get over it!

It seems like you're afraid of a change, & you shouldn't be. People probably won't really react to you wearing your hair up. You can wear it in a pony tail when you do sports. Hair is just an accessory, it doesn't define who you are. If you put it in a pony tail, you'll see how great it feels to have your hair out of the way, it's a great feeling, & much more practical for playing sports.

Start by wearing your hair up every day this summer. You will get used to it and be more confident. When you go to school it will be normal for you and it will just be your look that everyone else will be used to. It's not that big a deal.

I'm a bloke, I've always worn my hair like 2cm long, but down, no hair gel or whatever, I feel okay with it cos its my natural hair and I just brush my fringeyness (bangs) to the side.

However, I have had my hair gelled up, with a look where my fringe (bangs) creates a short wall and combed back, I dont really like it, but I've been told that people like it, but I just get so shy when I've done my hair like that, I get very self conscious.

Just wear your hair to how you feel its natural to you! - There should be no pressure from anyone else.

If you dont wanna wear your hair like so and so then fair enough, like I say, wear your hear just exactly how YOU want.

Volleyball or no volleyball, your hair doesnt determine the skill you have, having a certian amount of hairstyle isnt gonna change your volleyball skill now is it.
